Abstract

With at least 28 elective million operations delayed during the first three months of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the number of patients who will require surgery after a previous SARS‐CoV‐2 infection is likely to increase rapidly1. Operating on patients with an active perioperative SARS‐CoV‐2 infection is now known to carry a very high pulmonary complication and mortality rate2. Urgent information is needed to guide whether postponing surgery in patients with a previous SARS‐CoV‐2 infection leads to a clinical benefit, and the optimal length of delay.
